We were molded by hard times

If men wiping their ass is gay, I’m so glad I’m not straight

I once met a gay dentist. Obviously brushing teeth is gay

I thought he was “undercover” at the democratic convention

Earlier there had been worries of Minnesota going purple, but I suspect ICE really hindered that

Deductible is supposed to be the amount you pay 100% for, followed by a pre agreed percentage until your out of pocket maximum where you pay nothing

The government isn’t tearing houses down, simply permitting larger multi family dwellings in neighborhoods specifically targeted for growth. Those areas in Seattle are usually along the light rail line, and elsewhere are closer to city centers.

Most who sell will move to more suburban areas elsewhere, often in town, others will move to something like a townhouse, but regardless there will be more residences available in higher desirability areas

Idk about China’s style, but we do have high rises. And Washington state is on a state level encouraging building higher density in urban areas. This has led to increased density zoning, and is expected to lead to, in the not too distant future, an area that was once single family housing to be rezoned for high rises.

I personally quite enjoyed it and that sounds about how it felt.

There was a semester in college where I basically lived off fried chicken, fried potatoes, and bismuth subsalicylate. I don’t ever want to live that way again.

I forget this on purpose, just like how I can just make one myself and my wife won’t stop me

Just because I’ve had to go from getting hammered and committing petty crimes to having about 2 beers and being in bed before too late…

I’d say I miss watching the sunrise, but I wake up in time to see it. It was always more beautiful when you’re still up for it…

Yeah we’re middle aged punks now!

Well yeah, Israel doesn’t want peace

I hate Miller too, but let’s not bring the guy accused of serial rape back into office unless he’s fully exonerated

I don’t think your wife having sex with someone else (idk if they were together yet at the time), especially a serial rapist, makes you necessarily gay

Yet invokes feelings of tragedies past and future dangers

If the house goes how you suspect gerrymandering will backfire. Pack and Crack gerrymandering like republicans have been doing is the art of building as many pretty safe seats for your party as you can then attempting to shove the rest into as few as possible extremely safe seats for your opponents (if you can ensure none of your voters are in those districts you do it). It’s finangling safety of seats vs number of seats, and republicans seem to be leveraging themselves a bit heavily at the moment.

If it’s a bloodshed election, the gerrymandering will be most analogous to a dam that’s bursting. What it had been holding back it’s now providing an excess in its failure.

Medicare has been thoroughly fucked with and partially privatized. Medicaid on the other hand is no copay (even on prescriptions), free at point of use, and still privatized, but less so.

Fundamentally what we actually need is a “federal health insurance corporation” which receives full funding from the federal government to provide single payer health insurance to all citizens and to interface with insurers and payers for healthcare of visitors. Something more akin to the NHS but independent enough that politicians can make them cover something, but can’t make them not cover it. Currently we just really don’t have anything like that. Though Washington, Colorado, and Nevada do have public option health insurers now.

Robert F Kennedy Sr., brother of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy Sr… He was expected to be the next president after JFK, then later he was seen as likely to be the next president after Lyndon B. Johnson. He was assassinated during the democratic primaries, in which he was the primary anti Vietnam war/pro civil rights candidate.

Johnson remains the last president to oversee major expansion of infrastructure and welfare. Biden tried for the infrastructure, but it was largely repairing as opposed to Johnson doing The Great Society which included everything from the civil rights act and extending constitutional protections to native reservations to Medicare and Medicaid to funding metro rail in several major cities and so much more. Kennedy likely would have continued down this path but with much less killing south east Asians
